As for this picture, it seems like there is a lot of particulate in the water column. What time of filtration are you using? What are the current parameters of the tank?
How long are your lights on for and what settings ?
Gona have a guess and say your phosphates are probably high and check nitrates, I keep my tank at or below 0.1 and 20 nitrates
Well you could boost your microbiome and add copopods. Numerous species. Algeabarn.
Not enough info to be able to help you.
Algae growth consumes nitrates and phosphates often causing parameters to appear โnormalโ

Donโt have enough info to say for sure, but if I had to guess it could be overfeeding, not enough clean up crew, lack of flow? What are your parameters? Do you have any invertebrates in the tank that would eat algae? (Like snails, hermit crabs, urchin, etc)
